Dear Santa~!

For Christmas, I want this stuff:

● My sister.
● A race car. Like the ones in the magazines they have here!
● My sister.
● A parrot.
● All the Sherlock Holmes books.
● One kind of every candy in the world. No wait. In all the worlds!
● My sister. ♥

Sincerely,
Joshua Christopher
Did I do that right? I can't remember the last time

Yes, that's a fine letter to Father Christmas. I think that sometimes because of certain kinds of circumstance he's kept away. I hope not this year.

Is your sister missing?

[apostleofhope]

Certain kinds of circumstance? That sounds suspicious.

Yes.

[lionesssejant]

I've never had a Christmas in the City. I hope that its magic won't keep him away. I've been to a place that didn't have a Christmas for a very long time because of another magic.

I'm sorry. I miss my brother. I hope that he comes.

[apostleofhope]

...Really? That sounds terrible! But I don't think even the City's magic could keep Santa away. He's too powerful.

Your brother? If he really loves you, he will.

[lionesssejant]

It was very terrible. I hope that it never happens again anywhere.

I don't want to think that he's being kept away because he doesn't live Peter or Caspian or Lucy or me.

[apostleofhope]

Lucy? I know a Lucy. She's a little girl.

[lionesssejant]

She's my sister!

[apostleofhope]

She's a cute sister.

[lionesssejant]

And very helpful too. I didn't know that you were friends!

[apostleofhope]

It's been a long time since we talked.

[lionesssejant]

I'm sorry. Things have been quite exciting at home with the holiday and...other things.

[apostleofhope]

That's okay. She's not important to me.

[lionesssejant]

She--

[lionesssejant]

I beg your pardon?

[apostleofhope]

She's your sister. Not mine.

The only person important to me is my sister.

[lionesssejant]

You must be a very lonely boy.
